Lyrics

Well, let me tell you about my girlie
She goes by the name of Sleepy Shirlie
She become a real live wire-o
Since she learned how to do the Cairo
And she go up, up
Down, down
Up, up
Down, down
She pours all the sand on the kitchen floor
Then we start to camel through the living room door
She was cool to me, but now her heart's afire-o
Since she learned how to do the Cairo
And she go up, up
Down, down
Up, up
Down, down
And she go up, up
Down, down
Up, up
Down, down

[transcribed by Joshua Hall-Bachner and James Dignan]
